Definitions

  • the invention concerns a security clip according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention further relates to a process for the manufacture of such a security clip.
  • Such a security clip is characterized in that the pin head contains the reservoir, said reservoir having a rupture edge which is situated between the pin and the circumference of the reservoir.
  • the pin fitted into the security clip could thus be the type of pin recorded (as 16), for example, in Dutch patent application 7306201 or as recorded (as 10) in Dutch patent application 8800367.
  • the security clip (as in the invention) is not restricted to any particular version of the pin.
  • the pin to be used will depend upon the type of electronic security system used, whereby the pin already in use can be incorporated into the security clip (as in the invention). Shops which, as yet, have no electronic security system will of course have a free choice regarding the type of pin which will make up part of the electronic security system.
  • fig. 1 gives a view of the security clip (as in the invention).
  • figs. 2, 3 and 4 show the respective parts from which (essentially) the security clip is constructed, namely the dish (1), covering plate (2) and small plate (3) with a pin (5).
  • the security clip (as in the invention) is shown in fig. 1, in assembled form and with the various parts diagrammatically illustrated.
  • the security clip consists of a dish which should preferably be constructed of transparent plastic, such that the ink introduced into reservoir (10) can be clearly seen.
  • the ink to be used in such a security clip is a non-washable ink which solidifies only at a (relatively) very low temperature.
  • Such types of ink are known in the trade. These can be obtained, for example, from Inktfabriek Twello at Deventer.
  • the second component of the colour clip (as in the invention) is covering plate (2), as shown in fig. 3.
  • This covering plate completely seals the ink reservoir (10) and ensures that, when the security clip is inexpertly used, the covering plate will tear, thus releasing the ink.
  • a tearing edge or rupture edge (6) is fitted in order to make the covering plate (2) tear.
  • the covering plate (2) is fitted with a so-called sloshing edge (7), which has two functions.
  • the first function of the sloshing edge is to ensure that, when the covering plate (2) is laid on the dish (1) filled with ink, the whole assembly can be moved without any ink reaching the edge near part (14) of the dish (1). This is because the upper part (14) is used for the fastening between the dish (1) and the covering plate (2), which fastening should preferably be carried out by ultrasonic welding.
  • the covering plate (2) is pushed further into the reservoir (10) whereby the lower side (15) of the covering plate, through a movement directed into the reservoir (10), will create an over-pressure in the reservoir (10).
  • ultrasonic welding is carried out between the upper part (14) of the dish (1) and the outer wall (13) of the covering plate (2).
  • both parts can be provided with profiled surfaces which clasp together instead of the forms with a smooth design shown in the drawing.
  • This also applies to the junction between the plate (3) with the pin (5) in the cavity (11) on the upper side (12) of the covering plate (2).
  • the next part of the security clip (as in the invention) is the plate (3) with the pin (5) fitted into it, as shown in fig. 4.
  • the pin (5) which constitutes part of the electronic security system, is fixed into the security clip by sticking the pin through the opening (4) in plate (3) and then by fitting this plate (3) into the cavity (11) on the upper side (12) of the covering plate (2).
  • This fastening can also be carried out using ultrasonic welding, although it is possible to use adhesive for all the other fastenings, for example.
  • the security clip (as in the invention) can prevent the removal of an electronic security clip from an item of clothing or suchlike as a prelude to the illegal removal of that item of clothing from the shop.
  • the double protection which can presently be obtained with the security clip (as in the invention) will discourage removal of the electronic security system in the shop, since an attempt to remove the electronic security system will result in the ink reservoir breaking open thus rendering the goods unusable. Because of this the removal of the electronic security clip will be discouraged now that this electronic security clip has an ink security system.
  • Legal removal of the security clip (as in the invention) will take place in a shop, where the security clip will be removed from the item of clothing at the cash point in the same way as electronic security clips are presently removed. By this means the clip is released from the item of clothing as shown in fig.1 and can once more be incorporated into an electronic security clip and fixed to clothing, or other goods which are to be protected.
  • step a it is also possible to carry out step a), as shown above, after step e) and to start the procedure at step b).
